Baker Mayfield fined $10K for his unusual celebration vs. Bengals

The NFL announced the fines stemming from the Week 16 games, and Browns QB Baker Mayfield is on the naughty list. Mayfield was fined $10,026 for a celebratory gesture during the team’s 26-18 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

It was not his staredown of ex-coach Hue Jackson on the long game-clinching pass to David Njoku. Backpedaling past the opposing bench is perfectly legal, if a little too sour for some tastes.

The NFL will not tolerate the simulation of exposing oneself, however. Mayfield did that as he ran to the sideline following his TD strike to Darren Fells. The act was caught on camera.

Per his agent, Mayfield will appeal the fine.
